Weird problem...

[Chameleonfong]

I was practicing my alternate picking lately, and i realize that if i rest my pinky on the body of the guitar (about 1 cm from the volume pot) i'm able to pick a lot faster and accurate and my picking elbow feels alot more relax.. Do any of you have this wierd problem?

I've done that before, and do it commonly on acoustic guitar when flatpicking fast passages. Also, it gives me a different acoustic tone than when picking by the bridge. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

...and then you wear a hole in the finish of your guitar. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Seriously though, I have seen lots of guitars on Ebay with that type of wear. If it helps you, then keep it up, but maybe put something there to protect the finish.
